SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your ultimate guide to making good homes better! We're covering a lot of ground today, so here's a quick rundown of what we're talking about and the incredible callers we're helping with expert home improvement advice: - Bathroom Design Ideas: We offer a range of modern design ideas for bathrooms, from cozy powder rooms to luxurious spa spaces, drawing inspiration from Wallpaper Magazine to elevate your space and style. - Patio Furniture Care: Get valuable tips for cleaning and storing patio furniture made from various materials, including wicker, metal, wood, and cushions, to ensure they stay in great shape for seasons to come. - Concrete Post Footings: We discuss the value of Quikrete's fast-setting concrete as an easy way to set posts for fences, mailboxes, or basketball hoops, producing strong, stable results in under an hour without mixing or mess! - Kids' Room Décor: Learn about the art of redecorating kids' rooms, including the importance of budget planning, material selection, safety, and thinking about how the space will evolve with the child's age. Q & A: - Teresa called in about changing the finish of her wood deck, which is half new pre-treated lumber and half old painted lumber. The paint must be removed before staining because stain won't soak into paint, and the new pre-treated lumber will need to season until next spring before being stained. - Ted from Mississippi has a sewage odor in his bathroom. We suggest checking for a missing or non-functional plumbing trap or a bio-gas situation in the sink drain. - Janet from South Carolina inquires about options other than tile for her bathroom walls, due to staining issues. We recommend looking into pre-made tub surrounds as a durable and virtually leakproof alternative that can even mimic tile. - Jerry from West Virginia wants to soundproof a second-floor master bedroom he's converting into a movie room. We suggest applying a second layer of soundproofing drywall and using carpeting and upholstered furniture to absorb sound. - Kathy from Ohio reports a squealing noise from her upstairs toilet when the washer was running on the utility floor. Squeals are typically from the toilet's fill valve on the supply side, though a blockage or vent issue could also be a possibility. - Dan from Nebraska has a widespread mold situation in his three-year-old pole building, despite no previous issues. We identify the cause as high humidity due to a lack of conditioning in the space. Solutions include heating or cooling the space, using a dehumidifier, and potentially installing a fan with a humidistat. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

PDD Holdings (PDD) rallied in the premarket, then pulled back, and gained traction again after the opening bell. Diane King Hall points out the company's earnings beat as a win, though commentary on its competition spooked some investors. Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP) sold off after it announced it will acquire Peet's. Diane also turns to the tariffs front, after President Trump announced the U.S. will launch an investigation into furniture imports.

KJ The Kitty Correspondent offers practical advice to help cat owners keep their furniture scratch-free while ensuring their feline friends are happy.KJ suggests placing new scratching options, such as tall sisal posts and flat cardboard scratchers, right next to new furniture to divert cats from scratching couches. Using catnip or silvervine can make these alternatives more appealing.To protect furniture, KJ recommends covering high-risk areas like corners and armrests with throw blankets for the first few weeks. This not only protects the furniture but also adds a decorative touch. Keeping treats nearby allows owners to reward cats instantly for using scratchers instead of furniture, reinforcing positive behavior.KJ advises against scolding cats during the initial days, suggesting calm redirection and praise for good choices instead. Regularly refreshing scratching spots by replacing pads, rotating toys, and changing locations can keep them attractive to cats. Interactive play, such as using wand toys or laser pointers, can help reduce boredom-induced scratching by providing mental and physical stimulation.By following these strategies, cat owners can create a harmonious environment where both pets and furniture coexist peacefully.For more tips, KJ The Kitty Correspondent invites cat enthusiasts to join the SuPURR Cat Parent Society.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The sisters kick things off with an update on Courtney's new house and her adventures in DIY furniture building. From proudly assembling a credenza and nightstand to a late-night dresser disaster that left an IKEA manager accusing her of “furniture abuse,” Courtney learns the hard way when to pick up the power drill—and when to put it down in favor of rosé. With her walls still bare, Courtney sets her sights on Daddy Ashley's art collection, but his non-committal response sparks a new sisterly scheme: pitching him on turning her home into a gallery where guests can buy the art right off the walls. Courtney also shares the emotional reveal of Vivi's “dream room,” the teenage dance crew already taking over the podcast studio, and the satisfaction of settling into a space that finally feels like home. Meanwhile, Whitney has been jet-setting to New York. She dishes on a wedding weekend, an unforgettable dinner at Israeli hotspot Shmoné, and a surprise run-in with Hey Sis alum Chef Lior, better known as The Spice King. From there, she takes us inside The Room Women's Summit NYC “room-union” lunch, where a six-hour feast somehow included recipes for hiding the taste of magic mushrooms. Whitney wraps with one last New York story: a rain-soaked martini meet-cute that led to the planning of the very first “Panty Dropper Dinner Party.” Hit play and get ready for an episode best served with a Dirty Sis Martini!

In January 1993, the quiet Belgian village of Arc-Wattripont became the scene of one of Europe's most extraordinary modern hauntings. Over two nights, more than a dozen Gendarmerie officers — trained, skeptical law enforcement — witnessed violent poltergeist activity inside the Dubart family home. Furniture slid and lifted, objects launched into the air, and even a mattress levitated while someone lay on it. Despite exhaustive searches, no hoax or natural cause was found. The case, later dubbed “the Devil's House,” remains unsolved, preserved in official police reports and eyewitness testimony as a chilling reminder that some mysteries defy explanation.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.cerpi-officiel.com/arc-wattripont.htmhttps://www.rtbf.be/article/le-mystere-de-la-maison-hantee-darc-wattripont-10873468https://www.lesoir.be/art/arc-wattripont-phenomenes-paranormaux-et-poltergeist_t-19930108-Z06T1S.htmlhttps://paranormaldatabase.com/hotspots/arcwattripont.phpThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Wednesday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Once generating $22M in revenue, the company has seen a four-year slide to $9.4M, though gross margins have oddly improved from 19% to 32% despite the drop. The deal is being marketed at roughly $3.8M — close to the estimated book value of its working capital — making it feel more like a liquidation opportunity than a healthy going concern.Key Highlights:- Asking price: ~$3.8M, pegged to working capital value.- Revenue decline: $22M in 2020 → $9.4M in 2024.- 98% marketplace e-commerce sales via major retailers.- Gross margins increased from 19% to 32% despite shrinking sales.- Marketplace algorithm ranking & Chinese competition as potential killers.Subscribe to weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking here Do you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions Hey guys, appreciate you answering several of my questions in the past, so I thought of a few more. Feel free to separate as they are not related: 1: What do you do, if anything, to maintain furniture you have built? What would you tell a client if they were to ask you. I have always heard Murphy's oil is a good restorative, but when I looked at a bottle at the store I discovered it's just mineral oil. I would never recommend that. Or should I? Lemon Pledge Furniture Polish. Joking, but seriously, what is a good answer? Paste wax? Or just wipe the dust off and let it be? Peter Downing I'm building a dresser and have built the carcass out of cherry plywood. I've glued up a panel out of solid cherry that I want to use as the top. I want to attach the solid panel to the top of the carcass. Would you recommend using screws from the inside/underside of the plywood top and allowing for wood movement or is it ok to glue the solid wood top to the plywood carcass top? Eric Guys Questions Domino vs beadlock set up from rockler? Same principle...and , in my experience...same outcome. Thoughts? Crafted Carpentry Tampa When I wanted to learn how to apply shellac, I did a search and found a Youtube video of Guy from the late 70's when Youtube first came out demonstrating his technique involving a balled up rag and a mason jar with a lid to keep it in so it doesn't dry out between coats. That video is fantastic and I learned a lot than just the rag and jar business. Inevitably, when I'm done shellacking for the day, I leave the rag Guy's Jar. Because you never really know when you are done applying shellac to something until you arrive at that destination, I end up leaving that rag in the jar for a few weeks. It's amazing how well it keeps even weeks later. HOWEVER, on more than one occasion, when I pull Guy's Rag from the jar, it is moldy. This surprised me the first time because I assumed that the amount of alcohol in the shellac would prevent anything from growing. Does this happen to y'all or is indicative of something amiss. I just toss it and get a new rag. Additional data points: Shallac is < 2 months old, made from flakes, sourced from Oregon's shellacshack.com I'm using Platina colored shellac usually I'm using "Finishers Edge Shellac Reducer" instead of denatured alcohol because is way more expensive so it must be better right? Jar is a resealable mason jar with a rubber gasket Cloth is from the "bag of t shirts" you can buy at your local woodworking store Shellac still has a strong odor of fresh shellac I reuse the same jar to store my rag Because I'm not a proctologist, there is a chance I've misdiagnosed the mold so I attached an image of the rag. Robert Huys Questions Gents, there is a question here, but I wanted to share some info with you first. In a recent episode there was a bit of a discussion of using Tung oil and how to thin it, etc. I recently made a walnut desk inspired by the Nakashima style. I've had the good fortune to get my eyes and hands on some of his pieces for inspiration - they are amazing. Anyway, on the Nakashima website they discuss the care of their furniture, mentioning how they use Southerland Welles Tung Oil Wiping Varnish. https://sutherlandwelles.com/product-category/wipingvarnish/ It is really easy to apply and looks fantastic, especially on walnut. I used the Sealer and High Lustre Polymerized Tung Oil finishes. I highly recommend them. (this is not a paid ad!) Finally, here is my question: Have you ever taken a technique, tool, or finish that is used in another craft for your use in furniture making? An example might be Tru Oil used on gunstocks as a furniture finish? Or a technique used by luthiers that helped you in furniture making? Thanks again for a great podcast! Regards, David V. Hi guy I have a question or re3ally looking for advice. I noticed the tension on the v-belt of my delat 14 inch band saw was lose. It looked like freely wabblying when spinning the balde and I could come reaelly close to touching the two sides together when pinching the belt. Anyways I found the manuel online and it says there should be 1 inch deflection. asuming the maker knows what they are talking about I never seen a belt with that much allowance after being tight, so what do you think? Also Wen mention how much a pain replacing the tires or wheels were, how do you do that (i know google will answer my questions too, but we like hearing you guys talk)? Last part, are these upgrades really worth it, sometime I buy into something that really is not an improvement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpDA2X6L9Y4) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FOa9EJf91g) Paul Miotchell
